Memories & Candles

Marion, Edmund, Sally et al wish I could've been there. My most recent memory of Mary is from 2002, when she graciously directed a driving tour of Charleston for Victoria (my significant other) and me, which turned out to be the highlight of our vacation. She will be missed.

When Lawrence and I were married, Grandmere welcomed me into her family wholeheartedly. I think it is a strong testament to Grandmere's character just how much she welcomed my (and my entire family) into hers, particularly considering the times and locations in which she lived. Maybe it's because she was excited to have another Democrat in the family! Grandmere took great efforts to travel to our wedding and to fly to Dallas for my daughter's first Christmas. She loved my husband. She loved my children. We appreciate the kind things she did for all of and I'm honored to be a part of the family she created.

Marion,

Edmund

Very sorry to hear about your mother

My thoughts are with you

It has been a long time since we have seen each other or talked - hope all else is well

Do you go back to Atlanta often, or are you in contact with any Northside classmates. Would be nice to have another reunion.

Take care - all the very best to you, and regards to Sally
